  • Social and Cultural Functions of the Local Press in Preston, Lancashire, 1855-1900
    Reading the local paper: Social and cultural functions of the local press in Preston, Lancashire, 1855-1900 by Andrew Hobbs A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire November 2010 ABSTRACT This thesis demonstrates that the most popular periodical genre of the second half of the nineteenth century was the provincial newspaper. Using evidence from news rooms, libraries, the trade press and oral history, it argues that the majority of readers (particularly working-class readers) preferred the local press, because of its faster delivery of news, and because of its local and localised content. Building on the work of Law and Potter, the thesis treats the provincial press as a national network and a national system, a structure which enabled it to offer a more effective news distribution service than metropolitan papers. Taking the town of Preston, Lancashire, as a case study, this thesis provides some background to the most popular local publications of the period, and uses the diaries of Preston journalist Anthony Hewitson as a case study of the career of a local reporter, editor and proprietor. Three examples of how the local press consciously promoted local identity are discussed: Hewitson’s remoulding of the Preston Chronicle, the same paper’s changing treatment of Lancashire dialect, and coverage of professional football. These case studies demonstrate some of the local press content that could not practically be provided by metropolitan publications. The ‘reading world’ of this provincial town is reconstructed, to reveal the historical circumstances in which newspapers and the local paper in particular were read.

  • A Walk Around St. Leonard's Parish Boundary, Penwortham
    A Walk around St. Leonard’s Parish Boundary, Penwortham. Background. Penwortham is one of the ancient parishes of Lancashire. Until the 17th century it comprised of the townships of Longton, Howick, Penwortham, Farington and Hutton. In the early medieval period it also comprised of Brindle. The earliest written record of a church at Penwortham dates from the 1140’s. Map courtesy of Alan Crosby from his book “Penwortham in the past” Middleforth the township (which acquired it’s name from the middle ford on the River Ribble) was gradually growing in the early first part of the 19th century and the Vicar of St. Mary’s Rev. W.E. Rawstorne decided that the time was right to build a chapel school. Middleforth Chapel School opened in 1861 in the village, situated on the corner of Leyland Road and Marshall’s Brow. In 1901 a prefabricated iron church was built next to the school. This was in use until the present church was opened in 1970. As St. Leonard’s Church in Middleforth grew further, it was soon able to manage its own affairs and in 1959 became a conventional district but still in the Parish of St. Mary, Penwortham. Further growth took place with Penwortham becoming part of the Central Lancashire New Town. It was therefore decided that St. Leonard’s could stand alone from St. Mary’s and a new benefice of the Parish of St. Leonard, Penwortham was established on 1 April 1972 by an Order in Council dated 1 March 1972. The area concerned was taken out of the ancient parish of St.

  • Preston Bus Station: Heritage, Regeneration, and Resistance
    Preston Bus Station: Heritage, Regeneration, and Resistance Mark Toogood and Hannah Neate Dr Mark Toogood Dr Hannah Neate Geography, School of Built and Natural Geography, School of Built and Natural Environment, Environment, University of Central Lancashire University of Central Lancashire [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Since 2000 Preston Bus Station has twice been threatened with demolition as part of proposed regeneration schemes in the city. Both times there has been sustained public resistance against its destruction. Based on interviews and participant observation, the research on which this paper draws asked why a formerly unloved and unprotected example of Brutalist 1960s architecture has become a public icon. The paper identifies and explores the diverse range and significance of peoples’ articulations and actions — ranging from the local to global; from economic argument to affective and embodied interventions. These articulations are often non-expert, diffuse, expressed within social networks, as well as in inventive performative actions. Such activity has tacitly and productively blurred together forming an ‘assemblage’ of resistance. This assemblage of disparate agents represents a fresh public re-evaluation and democratisation of the building’s value, in addition to rejecting the building’s planned demise. More broadly we suggest that this ‘non-‘ or ‘tacit’ campaign also contests prevalent retail-led, investment-driven urban regeneration and articulates different possibilities for the Bus Station within Preston and its putative redevelopment. Key words Preston Bus Station; heritage; geography of architecture; iconic architecture 1 Introduction Use the term ‘icon Preston’ in a web search and the returns will include images dominated by photographs, predominantly in black and white, of the Brutalist horizontal lines of Preston Bus Station (hereafter PBS).

  • Past Epidemics in Preston
    Past Epidemics in Preston By Steve Harrison St Pancras Smallpox Hospital, London: housed in a tented camp at Finchley. Watercolour by F. Collins, 1881. Wellcome Collection. Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) In the 19th Century smallpox epidemics led to the erection of temporary hospitals across the country. Sir Robert Charles Brown 1836-1925 Preston’s history contains many periods when highly infectious diseases took hold. There are echoes of some of our current experiences in the past. These include isolation, temporary hospital wards, the deaths of medical staff, disinfection and, at times, despair. Robert Charles Brown’s parents lived on Winckley Square. His father was a surgeon. Charles was born in October 1836. He lived most of his life at the house in which he was born, now 27, Winckley Square. He died there on November 23rd 1925. We are fortunate to have a key source of evidence for his life in the reminiscences Dr Brown wrote when he was in his 80s; ‘Sixty-Four Years a Doctor’. His book includes his experiences of various epidemics during his career in Preston. It also records some of the major breakthroughs in medical knowledge which transformed his work and the lives of those he Charles Brown: Courtesy of treated. Preston Digital Archive A major outbreak of ‘Typhus’ occurred in Preston in 1862. Conditions in the town at the time were desperate. The Lancashire Cotton Famine lasted from 1861- 1865. The American Civil War led to a major disruption in the supply of raw cotton and had a massive impact on the Cotton trade.

These challenges crop up at intervals on social media – recent ones have involved people posting photos of drama productions they’ve been involved in or covers of books they’ve enjoyed, over a period of days, and nominating other people to join in. I got pulled into this one by my niece, and the challenge is to post a different photo every day for 10 days that says to you that life is good. It’s helpful to remind ourselves that ‘life is good’, especially at a time of year when life often feels quite stressful and busy. Perhaps this makes it easier to help others who don’t feel that life is particularly good, especially those of us who may find Christmas difficult for various reasons, or suffer from SAD or ‘winter blues’. But if we think about it, we can nearly always find something to remind us that ‘life is good’, despite the difficulties.
